Right now I am experimenting with VMWare -> VMWare since it is easy to duplicate/recreate VMs. However we also have standalone x86 systems and SPARC machines, so I am trying to figure out a process for all variants, including ZFS/Solaris11 if possible.

I am always trying to restore to the same type of hardware and oslevel.

VMWare Solaris 10u10 -> VMWare Solaris 10u10
SPARC Solaris 10u11 -> SPARC Solaris 10u11
etc.
